Hello everyone, hope each one of you are just holding onto the Lord as I am. I have been learning that He wants me to trust Him & have faith. I must confess that has been very hard for me. After all I grew-up as the black sheep, so why would God love me. I am truly learning that He does love me. I guess I have a hard head.
Anyway haven't posted in awhile, but I have been praying for all of you each day.
This last week has been a whirlwind for me. My annual exam, my doctor felt a small lump in my right breast. So on Mon. I went for my mammogram & ultra-sound, the doctor said everything looked like normal tissue, so lets re-check in 3 months. So I thought oh Lord how wonderful. Well yesterday I get a call from that doctor saying that she re-looked at my x-rays & ultra-sound & that she needs to go with her gut & have me come back in for a biospy. She said she just wanted to be sure, which I agree. I am having some other surgery this Fri. & then on Mon. have to go for that biospy. My mind has already been occupied with the surgery on Fri., now Mon.
I am clinging to my Lord for strength & help. I am trying hard to keep focused on Him & not that mountain.
I guess I just wanted to share & ask all of you for your prayers for the surgery & biospy. I appreciate all of you so very much & your godly wisdom. Its great to share with other christians, even though I don't know you personally. We are connected by our Lord.
Thanks for listening......deb.

Hello Deborah, my thoughts and prayers are with you. I know that this is a trying time for you, and waiting for us is also a trial. As for you coming to Christ, congratulations and at the same time, just a reminder, we all are lost without God's grace. There are none within Churches or Christ that wasn't at one time lost. Here is a verse for you.

Matthew 13:31 The kingdom of heaven is like a grain of mustard seed which a man took and sowed in his field; it is the smallest of seeds, but when it has grown it is the greatest of shrubs and becomes a tree.....

Jesus tells us, " If you have faith as a gain of mustard seed you will say to this mountain, MOVE...and it will move........

the mountain stands for the worst problem we'll ever face. And this means to overcome it? Faith!

_____
Dear Heavenly Father, I come to you will thanksgiving that Deborah has given her spirituality and Faith to you. Please bless her as she goes through the next few days waiting for her proceedures coming her way. I pray for your blessing on her biopsy results. Please bless her with wellness. In you most heavenly loving name I pray..........Amen
Annette

deb "I just wanted to share & ask all of you for your prayers for the surgery & biospy".

I am proud you asked us for specific prayer for your comeing surgery. & Biopsy.

I pray for your courage, and peace in the comeing days. I pray for your Doc. and assistence; wisdom to the very best thing for you in this problem, and above all I pray for your healing, to the glory of God "by is stripes you are healed", it is only by faith you must accept your healing I so know how difficult that is for you and I as you explained it takes practice to keep this Faith, even when we konw it is not only avilable to us, but God wants us to take it.
<span class="ev_code_RED">Without faith it is impossible to please God and those who come to Him must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him. - Hebrews 11;6</span> I pray for you faith that passes all understanding here on earth. and knowing you are diligently seeking Him, He will meet you in this time. <span class="ev_code_RED">Fiath, if it does not have works (deeds and actions of obedience to back it up), by itself is destitute of power (inoperative, dead). - James 2;17</span> I pray for you the Word of Knowledge, as to what is appropriate for you to do to gain this healing! in Jesus Name Amen

I am understanding that it does take the work of forgiveness, and doing the right thing, including eating right, and exercising theses Temples of God we live in, the principles of health set out in the Bible is the same as gravity. Sure God can change these things, "but though shalt not tempt the Lord thy God" comes in there to. we do have to take care of ourselves, we do have to "Be carefull little eyes what you see", and what we do, and what we feed our minds, and our bodies. They were not meant to work on desert every day, while sitting in front of a TV all day long. and our minds were not meant to be bombarded with bad news, or elicit pictuers, of danger, all the time. We do need to get off the spinning wheal, of bad, food, bad TV, bad words. All of this weakens our walk with God. This has come to me so strongly over the past 3 days, I pray for all of us to "be carefull what we feed on in this earth". I am so glad for this forum, and this time in the day to feed on the word, the bible studdy "The Batifield of the mind" and my personal batifield of the belt. has helped me to see God doesn't want us to do that, like a child that is running in to the street He is doing all he can to turn us around to his way of living.

I guess I said all of that to say this, some times things like this anxiety, and all of it's symptoms, is like a road sign saying "not this way" we need our buffers to keep us on the narrow way. and I think for me this anxiety has keept me from dying. of possible Cancer of my uterus, because my MD thought I was, but the Lord lead me to a Holistic Doc. who has brought me out of it. with accupuncture, and nutrition, excercise. God has a plan, and this Country has lost it's perspective in feeding; the body, and the mind.
God Bless you deb, and all of you on this forum.

"May we all accept our healing in Your Timeing, in Jesus Name. amen"

Amen and Amen, cfe. Accepting God's healing to us in His Timing is a powerful thought. Sometimes we want to run ahead of that timing, and sometimes we lag behind. I'm so glad He's a patient God. Karen

Welcome Sandy nickols; you are #91, we are all Blessed to have you with us!

God Protects Us, by Joyce Meyer
God is continually concerned about our protection. No only can we trust Him with our physical protection, but our emotional protection as well. <span class="ev_code_RED">The Lord shall preserve thee from all evil; He shall preserve thy sole. - Psalm 121;7 KJV</span>
Listenting yesterday on the road, to Joyce Meyer's tapes "The Mystry of Prayer" she reminded me that we are at war with the evil one, and how he is constantly working to get us angry at God, or just to forget God Loves or just plane ling to us about God. Reminding us of our sins, even tough we have been forgiven, telling us we are not worth dying for, we do not deserve the Grace of God. and how we must watch out for the lies of saten! guard our hearts agains the evil one. Pray for protection, before we get even open our eyes to the new day. God is waiting for us to seek, and find Him. aske and it shall be given unto us. but when saten has us believing we are not worth it! with his lies. we maby ask for others, but somehow we get in our head we are not worthy of God's Love. saten is behind thoses thoughts, and we must dig them, our cast them out, just get rid of them, because they are the lies of saten, God is LOVE, Trust in HIS Love, Lean on His Love, and don't take your eyes off of Him, with his armes out streteched on the cross, because He Loves You That Much. Make it a Great Day, brothers and sisters, Pray for one another to stop the evil one and his lies! in Jesus Name Amen
